Maturity

Capetown Lecture Series Sept 2017 - Session 11 - Sam Soleyn - ‘When God created man in His image and in His likeness, He was not just looking at Adam, He was looking at the end from the beginning. He saw Christ, a spiritual man composed of many members, having the character and nature of God Himself. This being would put on display the nature of God in the form of the love of God. God saw each of us in this spiritual being before the foundations of the world.’

Capetown - Lecture Series Sept 2017 - Session 1 - Sam Soleyn - ‘The divine purpose attached to being born again is to grow up to become the reflection of the light and glory of your Father. You were known in Christ BEFORE the foundations of the world and were predestined to be conformed to the measure, to the standard, to the likeness of Christ. Everything that pre-existed the creation of the world speaks to the relevance of creation itself.’

Apostolic School of Ministry - 30th Final - Session 11 - Ralph Ellaya - Johannesburg SA - ‘The household of God is the place where the mystery of who God is is revealed. The sons who hear the Word and who eventually become the Word, must then be sown into the world. In the world, they transition from being sons of the household of God, to becoming sons of the Kingdom of God. We must significantly shift our focus outward from our households to the advance of the Kingdom in the world.’

Apostolic School of Ministry - 30th Final - Session 1 - Thamo Naidoo - Johannesburg 2017 - 'Thirty, in Scripture, is the age of maturation. Thirty, in the life of Jesus, is the age of recognition of Jesus by John as the Lamb of God. Thirty is also the age in the life of Jesus when God declared, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Thirty, therefore, is not just the age of maturation, but it is also the age of sonship, the age of priesthood, and the age of kingship.’

Session 9 - Capetown Lecture Series Sept 2016 - Sam Soleyn - 'The soul has a mind and the spirit has a mind and the mind of each is charged with the responsibility of determining reality. Whatever sourcing of information the mind depends upon will determine the nature of reality. In Christ, we are assembled to the mind of Christ and our source of information is the Spirit.'

Session 6 - Capetown Lecture Series Sept 2016 - Sam Soleyn - 'Walking in the light of the Spirit is the reality. What was lost in the garden by Adam's disobedience was brought back to the earth from heaven, where God had placed it, awaiting the time when out of the rootstock of Jesse, He would bring the measuring rod or standard. The characteristic inherent in this standard is rule; to rule the way God rules.'

Session 4 - Capetown Lecture Series Sept 2016 - Sam Soleyn - 'When God breathed into man, He extended from Himself a gift of Himself and this gift is what gave man being in the earth. This gift is far more than the gift of life; it is part of a prior existing plan of God to have sons in His image and likeness. The invisible God desired to be clearly seen and understood through His creation of spirit in flesh.'

Session 5 - SW Regional Tribal Gathering - San Angelo, Tx - Aug 2016 - Virgina McBride, Nancy Boyd, Sam Soleyn - 'The Firstborn is the One who completely trusts the Father. When you have been found faithful, God will allow you to come to a new level of suffering that is unlike any other measure of suffering you've experienced in the past in order to bring you to the realization that when you are weak, He is strong.'

LA Meetings July 2016 Day Two Session 1 - Sam Soleyn - The New Man Revealed - 'The reason we have to labor to enter God's rest is the conflict between our souls and our spirits. Suffering is the means God employs to disabuse the soul of its predominance and to produce the peaceful fruit of righteousness by those who have been trained by it. That is the rest of God.'

Apostolic Leadership Summit Johannesburg SA 2016 - John Alley - 'You must first be a son of God yourself before you can reproduce sons. When you walk as a son, love as a son, and serve as a son, the spirit of sonship in you draws others to the Son. When you walk in the grace of sonship, you appear to others as a father.'
